Spinach Stuffed Chicken
2 pkg (10-oz ea) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
1 cup (4 oz) shredded swiss cheese
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 Tbls finely choped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp each of salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg
6 bone-in chicken breast halves
2 Tbls olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Additional paprika, opt.
Combine the first 9 ingredients; gently stuff 1/2 cupfull under the skin of each chicken breast. (I used bonless, skinless and cut a groove to fit the stuffing) Place in a greased 15 x 10 x 1 baking pan. Combine oil, paprika, oregano, and thyme; brush over chicken. Sprinkle with additional paprika, if desired. Bake at 350 for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until juices run clear. 6 Servings
